Harrah’s launches WSOP credit card

Details on how exactly poker rewards would work are non existent.

MNBA weren’t able to tell me anything. I have an email into Harrah’s asking for more details.

If spending 25k a year on my card would get me a free entry into the $1k buy-in event, that would be very cool, and I’d do it. Otherwise, if it just tied to Harrah’s standard total rewards program (hotels and meals) or other WSOP merchandise, I’m better off getting frequent flier miles and using them to fly to Vegas.

Looks to me like they may have rolled this out a bit prematurely. I like the idea - a lot - but they need to make the fine print available before I'm signing up... that's for sure.

It does specifically mention "buy-ins" as potential rewards though.

Where did you hear about this?

I clicked on a banner ad to get to the page, and the card is also listed on , which says it will be redeemable for buy-ins.

But Tp, you are right about rolling this out a little early. Two different MBNA employees provided zero additional info. Finally, I asked to speak to a manager, and the rep put me on hold and then told me the manager suggested I call "hurrah's" for all the details.

We'll see. I’d be great if charging my groceries, etc. all could get me a seat at a WSOP event. If it does turn out to be a good deal, they'll probably have a refer-a-friend bonus as well ...

I would imagine you would need at the very least, $1 Million in purchases to get the $10,000 buy-in.... Come to think of it, I would say you would need at least $1 Million in purchases to get a $1,000 buy-in.

Might be worth a look though.
Although I am sure with my luck, this will NOT be available in Canada.
